I went looking for more direct-to-consumer sites after trying Few Moda, and I stumbled on Quince (aka One Quince). There weren’t many Quince reviews available but I wanted to try it anyway. (I had a hard time finding any onequince reviews so decided to write my own. And here we are!)
I ordered some of their clothing and wanted to share my review here for anyone else who is wondering if Quince clothing is legit. Is Quince clothing worth it? Because of their manufacturer-to-consumer model, you get some great items at great prices. Not everything is worth buying, but there are many Quince clothing items that are definitely worth trying!
Let’s start here… Who (or what) is Quince/One Quince?
Quince is a manufacturer-to-consumer website where you can purchase clothing, accessories, and home goods at a fraction of the cost of other brands. (“Direct to consumer” means that it goes from the manufacturer right to the purchaser instead of going to a warehouse in between.) Their site says that Quince is “committed to making exceptionally high-quality essentials at a price within reach” – hence cashmere at a $50 price tag! They compare their products on site to brands like Everlane, J.Crew, Vince, and others.

Quince Clothing Review (2024)
What I bought for clothing from Quince:
I chose a few fall sweater items from their Bestsellers list to test out the quality of the pieces. Below I’m sharing details about each one, plus sizing info. For reference, I’m 5’8″ and normally a true size medium.
I wanted to get this dress, but it’s started to get chilly in New England so I knew I wouldn’t get much wear out of it. But if/when we plan a warm-weather trip, I’m going to order it to try!
Review of the Bestseller Quince Clothing Sweaters
A sizing note: I am a true medium in every brand I shop. For all of these Quince sweaters, I bought a medium. Here’s how it went!
Batwing sweater
First up was this batwing sweater. I own a couple of other batwing sweaters and reach for them often in the winter months because they’re so cozy! The fabric of this sweater is a dream. It’s so soft. The length is perfect for jeans or leggings. It comes in 7 different colors, and this is one I’m going to hang onto. I ordered the S/M size (it comes in S/M or L/XL).
Cashmere everyday crew neck sweater
At $50, this crew neck cashmere sweater is such a steal. I have a similar sweater from Nordstrom (one of their in-house brands) that I think I paid $80 for at a major sale. This one from Quince comes in 14 (!) different colors). It’s super soft, fits true to size, and the length feels perfect for an everyday cashmere crew neck that you’ll most likely pair with jeans or work pants. I ordered the medium.
Baby alpaca wool quarter zip sweater
I didn’t love this sweater, to be honest. It’s soft, for sure, but it felt really thin. I left the tags on because you can see them through the sweater, and I wanted to show you guys that so you could see what I mean about the fabric! I ordered the medium in this.
Baby alpaca wool cropped cardigan
Another miss for me. The fabric of this sweater felt too thin- like it’s more of a fashion statement than a warm piece. Which is totally fine, it just doesn’t work for me. I ordered the medium in this.
Other clothing at Quince
Quince has its own line of maternity clothes. They have some really nice basics, like t-shirts and wrap dresses, joggers, leggings, and loungewear.
I have a couple of the maternity t-shirts and they’re soft, comfortable, and long which I love. Another big hit for me is their maternity/postpartum underwear. It’s stretchy, super high waisted, and comfortable. I lived in the postpartum undies from Quince for the weeks after I had our third baby. And I still wear the navy wrap dress I got from Quince when I was pregnant with our third baby. It’s a wrap dress, so I feel like you can make it work whether you have a bump or not!
If you’re interested in stuff other than clothing Quince also sells jewelry, home items, baby, and more! I was impressed with the wide selection of items available. And don’t sleep on the mens t-shirts. I bought one for my husband and it’s so good! I have it on my list to get him a few more for the summer months.
FAQs about Quince/One Quince
So is Quince legit?
Yes!
How is the Quince return policy?
It’s easy! Like I mentioned above, I wanted to return the two thinner sweaters, so I just logged in and submitted a return request. I printed a label they sent me, packed it up and shipped it out! You don’t pay for returns shipping.
Is Quince a sustainable brand?
One thing I was very interested in is whether or not Quince can still be sustainable – and pay workers a living wage – with such low prices. But according to their website, they only partner with “factories who meet or exceed global guidelines for workplace safety and equitable wages.” As for materials, a quick glance at their product offering shows alpaca wool, cashmere, organic cotton, organic linen, and eco-friendly dyes, as well as 100% recycled polyester.
Where are Quince products made?
It totally depends on the product! Some of their cashmere is sourced from Mongolia. Quince has a line of washable silk dresses, which are made in China. Their bamboo sheets are noted that they are made in China as well. The Italian leather bags (next on my list!) are made in Florence, Italy. I love that they partner with factories who pay workers a living wage!
P.S. I did a whole review of my Quince carry on luggage (similar to Away luggage!).
